    Hi,

    I'm wondering i can overclock this screen on my M17X R4 laptop.

    Using a ATI videocard how can i do this?

    I'm more used to NVIDIA.

    edit:

    Ok i managed to find a program you can make custom resolution.
    I tried 75hz from the start, and it seem to work, can this damage the screen at all?

    Wouldn't think it would do any damage, But what did you do to overclock it, I think they can actually support 75HZ as i saw that somewhere.

    I used a program called Custom Resolution Utility (CRU).

    I've not heard of damage, but it's overclocking and panels electronics can be a bit different.

    It wont do this in shared mode though.
